Qualifier 1: Southern Shootout!
April 4th & 5th, 2009 - Cave Run Lake, Kentucky
Hosted by Morehead Tourism Commission
Located in Northeastern Kentucky, this lake (at normal summer pool) is 8,270 acres and can reach up to 14,870 acres at maximum flood control pool. Cave Run was made by the construction of a 2,700 foot dam across the Licking River, it has a large area of standing timber that was left prior to the impoundment. This has created hundreds of prime habitat areas for muskies. Depths range from 10' to 60'. To fish this great body of water will be a thrill of a life time.
In the last several years weed growth has increased yielding even more exciting fishing opportunities. This tournament historically produces lots of muskies and is a great way to jump start the season.
